Oh, this is very hard choice, I have often thought about it and I just can't decide 
Well, the only taxis from the 1950s that I like are the 58-59ish Plymouth/Dodge, as the late-50s Chrysler products I simply love
I have always thought of them as much better looking cars than the Chevy and Ford, taxi or otherwise. I despise pretty much every car from the 1960s, with the exception of some 68 and 69 models of Chrysler and GM. Now the 70s on the other hand, that's a good decade for taxis 
So much variety and each of the big three had a model (sometimes two) to offer, not to mention the cars were the biggest and most stylish they would ever get (and will ever be). I would have to say my 70s taxi of choice would be a 1975 Ford LTD, although the Bel Air and Monaco of the same year are wonderful too. I also like the mid-70s Furys and Coronet midsizes, which were commonly used in NYC, along with the LTD. The 80s, well of course I love all taxis of that decade, Caprice, LTD Crown Vic, Diplomat, but compared to the 70s and 90s it was nothing special so I will skip that decade. Now I get to another great decade, the 90s! Even though by then there were pretty much only two choices, Caprice and Crown Victoria, the sheer beauty of these two cars make up for the fact that there was little variety I guess I'd have to say that no taxi beats either the 1992 Caprice or the 1995 Crown Vic, in NYC livery of course. Although I think the 75 LTD might be tied with those two, as that really was a great taxi
Heh heh, sorry for the extremely long response by the way. I guess when I start talking about taxis I just can't stop!
